Bradshaw Orrell Turned 'Green' Into 'Chic' at the Proximity Hotel

 
Seating areas in the upper lobby. The custom upholstery was designed and sourced locally.

The Bluebell Garden between the hotel and Print Works Bistro contain only native plant species and use a low flow drip type irrigation system. The view through the social lobby to the garden. Something in my house is going to be painted chartreuse because of these doors!
 

Yes, that’s real fescue growing on a table in the lobby and a live phalaenopses orchid hangs from the concrete column in the social lobby.

The Print Works bar is solid Walnut salvaged from naturally fallen trees.

Member of IFDA Carolinas are enjoying the City Suite sitting area. 7-foot windows have operable panes for fresh air.

The social lobby on the lower level is connected to the upper portion by two custom spiral staircases.

These rooms are all about natural light: A City Suite guest room and bath (with Aveda bath products.)

Every room in the hotel has original art by local artist Chip Holton. Holton worked in a temp studio on site and created over 500 pieces for Proximity. You have to get close up to these pieces; they are gorgeous.

Go see it all for yourself. The Proximity Hotel and Print Works Bistro are located in Greensboro, NC near the intersection of Wendover Avenue and Benjamin Parkway at 704 Green Valley Road.

Ciao!
